and obama isn't just beating romney. this week i spoke to campaign aide, adam fletcher who says the obama campaign is also beating its early vote margins from 2008. what is the gop response? it's twofold. first, they say they have an advantage with absentee and election-day voters. that's true. but there is another response that i think is more troubling. in ohio, they tried to stop the early voting on the weekend before november 6th. that's against the rules. and when that failed, ohio republicans went all the way to the supreme court, which rejected their attempt. so like voter id laws, early vote cog become another ugly battle over the right to vote itself. and that's one rule of politics that hasn't changed here. the party trying to suppress votes is usually the one losing. craig? >> ari melber, always appreciate your insight here. let me ask you one thing before i let you get out of here or we bring some other folks in. >> sure. >> if early voting is as vital as it seems to be this year, why isn't the romney camp pl
